~How TWO trips became...who knows? ~ It's a TRIP! and an upgrade.... 4/22

Oh, Maroo.

Will keep praying.

 

[MomTo4+more]

So much to pray for. I will be watching for updates for both Rachel and Noah.

 

[maroo]

Noah went Home tonight. He is resting in the arms of the only One who loves home more than hid Mom. He passed away at 2:00 this afternoon.

 

[MomTo4+more]

I checked Noah's blog just minutes ago and read that. My children and I had been praying ofr him often today. When I told them, Deyki said, "You're gonna make me cry, Mom. But Mom he is alive in Heaven, so why do we say he died?" The perspective of a child is so innocent and sweet. I am praying Noah's family is comforted picturing their sweet little boy playing happily and laughing freely in the presence of Jesus.

Noah stayed to touch so many lives that were connected by this thing called the internet!

Maroo - I pray that you find peace and comfort knowing that you are doing what you were called to do - it is not an easy job, and your heart is involved - stand up, and reach out to Him, feel His peace, and know, people care - You do make a difference!!

 

[Sandy321]

I posted on the comment section - lifting up Noah's friends and family up in prayer - May God grant them the Peace beyond understanding in this time of sadness - I want to thak God for allowing Noah to touch so many lives, and through Noah, God was able to bring strangers together - I may not understand God's plan, but I am comforted knowing He does have a plan - even when my heart is heavy with sadness - gone too soon - but Jesus Called, and Noah answered...

 

[that's nice]

We are so sorry to hear about Noah.

We will be praying for him and his family.

I am just sick tonight.

The doctors are now telling Rachel's Mom (I missed the whole conversation going to get her something to eat and I am sick about that...because I don't actually know what was said...)
But the gist is that this is what they believe is a beginning of a decline.

The impression left with the people that heard was that of very bad news.

I have no timeline...or why they think this...I just know what the impression is around here.

At this point, Rachel is very, very agitated and she has a lot of visitors that drove many hours to get here...so I am downstairs in the big lobby...Sitting her in tears for Noah and Rachel.

Anyway. Please, please lift these families up in prayer.

The only time Rachel was calm today was a little while that we read some Scripture to her and we sang a few songs to her later...and the rest of the time she has been agitated.

 

[Sandy321]

Maroo you've lifted up your faith, and you trust in God - you are where you are supposed to be - even if that means going out for food! You dont beat yourself up - you do what your heart leads you to do - and take comfort that God IS USING you!! You have opened your heart, and it is good! Trust - and somehow, someway in prayer, know that the peace of the Lord is there - Rachel is God's child!! Rachel had a purpose here - we may not be able to understand - or like what is happening - and that is ok - we get to be angry - and hurt and confused, but in the end... we walk to our Father in Heaven, and trust...

songs are so helpful in this - sing your heart out Maroo -and add my voice to yours!!

Take comfort in the words in the words posted on Noah's blog -

God is real, he is listening, and answering...

you are in many many people's hearts and prayers Maroo!!

Wow. A scary few hours. To add to the very sad few hours.

Rachel gave us a little scare tonight. Her heart rate shot up and would not go down. We called the nurse. Who actually called the doctor. I should have been scared when the doctor showed up in the room in minutes.

Her heart rate stayed really, really high for almost 30 minutes, despite meds. But it eventually dropped back down to normal levels.

That was followed by an all out fit. Her body does not like that strong medicine! And she is STRONG.

But, she is now asleep and will hopefully stay that way a while tonight.

I am going to drive home, as I need to go to work tomorrow.

I am trying to figure out what we should do in honor of Noah...

I am thinking donations to GKTW in his honor would really be an awesome comfort to his family and be a blessing for future wish families...so I am going to see how we can do that. I will also find an address to send them cards.

Thank you all so much for your support! It means so much to me!

 

[TarzansKat]

Oh, Maroo. I wish I were there so that I could comfort you. You are such a blessing to all the people you know. I am so sorry to hear of Noah's passing, and I will continue to pray for his family and for Rachel.

 

[eyor44]

Hope Rachel had a few peaceful hours last night and hope you got some rest also Maroo. We will continue to pray for her and her family, as well as Noah's.

What a rough day yesterday! Between little Noah's death and Rachel's bad news and bad night, I think we are all ready for a bright new day today. Let us know if we can do anything more than send prayers and good thoughts. I hope you know that you are a blessing to Rachel and her mom and whatever you are able to do to help them is more than enough.

I think Jessica was working on Noah's address too fora card shower so you may want to try to coordinate with her.

Sending you and everyone involved a cyberhug - .

 

[tiggerbell]

Mary, My thoughts are with you, Noah, and Rachel today.

I'm not going to work, I'm going to sit with my mom at hospice. I'm going to bring the laptop and see if they have wireless, but I'm doubtful.

Thank you for keeping us informed and know that we are all here with you.

Yep, I was working on it and had to resort to asking Maroo! It is deleted from our address thread (because I made them all disappear one day). Great idea I had of how to store them!

So keep us updated Maroo if you find get an address. I think donations to GKTW is wonderful. I did that for Jonah.

Maroo...

We are praying for Rachel here and continue to pray for Nichole and Brad and their family.

The GKTW website has a donations tab and a space on the form to indicate if the donation is being made in someone's memory. We would need Noah's last name though.

 

[Sandy321]

Maroo -

sometimes a wealth of words can be silently spoken in a




(did anyone notice this smilie pop in on our front page of smilies today?)

The family has put up a memorial for Noah on the blogspot :
